Zone counts are measured from the point above, which is Klaipėda's centre as recorded by GeoNames; a zone counts if any part of it falls within 10 km of it. That radius scales with population and is not Klaipėda's administrative boundary, so a zone just outside the city limits still appears - which is what matters when you are deciding where to take off. Population 172,292 (GeoNames, record updated 2026-04-14). City data from GeoNames, licensed CC BY 4.0. Zone data is the official Lithuania dataset, unmodified except for normalisation to ED-269.
